4 x 4 Evolution 2

The guys over at xbox.ign.com have posted a preview on the sequel to Terminal Realitys SUV racing game, 4 x 4 Evolution. Here is a bit of what they had to say:

The game will feature over 100 licensed vehicles, and Terminal Reality promises that the level of detail is going to make the last game look like a lot full of Tonkas. Featuring upwards of 5,000 polys per car with effects blazing, you can tell from the included screens that this racer will do a great job of showing off the hardware.

Another aspect that is going to see a great deal of visual improvement is the draw distance. Last years console versions were quite...erm...foggy, but thanks to the added hardware power, Evo2s draw-in distance will be greatly increased, and the fog will be limited to weather effects. Speaking of which, 4X4 Evo2 will allow players to choose both time of day and weather options for each of the games courses, including wind, rain, lighting and snow. As for snow tires...well, well keep you posted.
